Willingness to Oblige
THE public has a right to something more than perfunctory
service from those who supply its telephone needs.
There is something more to a telephone service than mere
ly placing at the disposal of the public adequate telephone
equipment.
Courtesy, willingness to oblige and patience, under trying
conditions on the part of telephone employes, promote
friendly feeling and are essential to the best kind of tele
phone service.

thu Judiciary nnd In all walks of
life.
Of course at the moment It Is the
general opinion that there was pre
meditation nnd If that should be tb*'
finding of the court the punishment
Is denth, but a pretty woman makes
a strong appeal to the mercies of the
French Jury nnd It is more than like
ly that they will grant her the benefit
of extenuating circumstances. In
which case the punishment Is Im
prisonment probably for a term of
five years.
Greatest of All.
It Is In her favor that the greatest
of all French lawyers. Mnltre Labot'l,
has been retained to defend the wir»
of the ex-Mtntster of Finance. M.
1 .abort made a world-wide reputation
when he defended Captain Dreyfus
and won that historic trial for the
persecuted French officer. But not
only In the world of law has Laborl
achieved renown. In the realms of
romance he has earned some tioto
riett, though the story of his mar
riage is now but a memory. That
union, starting under a cloud, has had
the happiest results.
M. I.abori first met his wife ttt
England. She was then a famous
pianist, known to the world of music
as Maggie Okey. Although an Eng
lish girl, she was the wife of Vladi
mir de Pachmann, also a noted pia
nist. and a native of Poland. They
were giving a joint recital at tbe
Crystal Palace, larndon, and M. La
bor!, then a bright and handsome
young Frenchman, studying law tn
England, was one of the enraptureo
audience. Labor! and Maggie Okey
there me; for the first time and a
mere acquaintance ripened into In
tense affection.
Soon came the news that the couple
had eloped and in due course oe
Pachntann obtained a divorce. Almost
immediately Maggie Okey became
the wife of M. Ixibori. Their union
has been o fthe happiest possible
character and some of the great suc
cess of the French lawyer Is trace
able to the influence of his devotea
wife. But that Is many years ago.
Mnte. Labor! is thoroughly Parisian
and few people know her as Maggie

Caillaux Scandal.
One more Interesting feature of the
Caillaux scandal, which has not re
ceived much prominence, is the ques
tion of where the liberty of the press
should begin and end Just over that
narrow strip of water—ln England—
the limits of It* power are pretty
clearly defined nnd the law bits lum.
at those who overstep the defined
mark, hut In France all 1* In a state
of chaos nnd Innumerable cases have
proved that It in almost Impossible
to procure n conviction for libel tn a
newspaper In nearly all cases tbe
accused Is triumphantly acquitted.
The result Is that a man may be di
stilled and abused in the press bui
lie never thinks of bringing his ac
cuser before the courts Ills remedy
lies in the Inevitable duel of which
we have so many In France.
Indeed It Is the absence of tegai
redress which brings about ao many
of these affairs d'honneur and lit
erally forces tin- French Journalist to
become an expert In the use of the
foil and the pistol, for he does not
know whnt day he may lie called upon
to meet some agggrleved compatriot.
That most of these duels are less
dangerous than a football game ts an
other insight into the Gallic tempera
ment.
It is openly said that the reason M.
Calmette's accusations against the
ex-Minlster of Finance grew dal y
more bitter was, when It was seen
that no challenge was forthcoming to
forc» M. Caillaux to bring an nettou.
If he had at last been goaded into
this, the whole question of nls past
political career would have come otli
'-t sit*'-* done, and documents
would have been produced In court.,
which could not honorably he repro
duced in a newspaper. But M Call
laux was too shrewd a politician to
be thus drawn, and his wife, tenting
the publication of further letters whlcn
had passed between her and her hus
band before their marriage, exasper
ater beyond bearing at the dally at
tacks, resolved on the mad net whlcn
did the very thing she was anxious
to avoid. She, woman-Uke, in her
thirst for revenge, did not reckon
with the fact, that In killing M. Cal
mette she killed also the career ol
her husband to whom she was un
doubtedly devotedly attached He
might have lived down the newspaper
attacks, but it Is very unlikely, even
in such a country as France if he
ever lived down the desperate act of
ahis misguided wife.
A Mother ot Pearl Ikon
of "Lord's Last Supper”
Awaits Claimant
Is Almost Identical to One
Presented to the Russian
Emperor.
London.—A mother of pearl Ikon,
of the "Ivord’s Last Supper,” almost
identical to that presented to the Em
peror of Russia by the Sultan of Tur
key as a peace offering on the out
break of the late war with Italy, Is
in Ixindon awaiting a claimant. It
was destined for King George, but
because It is not an official gift it
cannot be presented to him, aijd, since
no one else has a right to accept it,
the ikon remains without a master.
The history oT the ikon began whan
Italy cast covetous eyes on Turkey’s
Tripollan possessions. The Sultan
in need of friends, determined to turn
to his powerful neighbor on the north
and in true Oriental fashion decided
to accompany his overtures with a
gift. He ordered the Kobi, an Ara
bian tribe celebrated for its mother
of pearl work, to make an ikon of
the “Lord's Last Supper” for presen
tation to the Russian Emperor. It
was no small order, for tile mother
of pearl had to be carried a twelve
day camel journey into the interior
from tbe seashore.
Work on Ikon.
While the tribe was at work on the
Ikon one of its members, who had
served in the Hritish army paid a
visit to his old home, and when he
saw what was being done he insisted
that it would be the grossest discour
tesy to his royal master if a similar
gift was not made for King George.
The only difference between the two
is that the Russian gift is surmount,
ed by the imperial arms oT Russia,
while the English image hears the
roval arms of Great Britain.
When the Russian gift was finish
ed the agents of the Sultan paid for
it and carried it. away, but tbe Kobi
tribesmen did not know how to send
the replica to King George. It was
finally taken to Sir John Gray Hill,
of Liverpool, who maintains a winter
home on the Mount of Olives In Jeru
salem. Lady Hill paid the tribesmen
for their work and brought the Ikon
to London.
The ikon Is made in the form of a
half room with the front elevation
surmounted by the royal arms. The
figure of the Savious and hiß disci
ples about the table are done in full
relief in solid mother of pearl. The
work Is very complete, even the small
est table utensils in mother of pear
occupying their ordinary place on the
table. The workmanship Is exquisite
and the design excellently done. It
Is probable that IT no means can be
found for delivering the ikon to the
king, it will find a resting place in
some London museum.
